Today in city of Chicago was the most beautiful day in my hometown. I quickly noticed all of the colorful flowers as soon as I stepped out the front door but my son said he noticed them before I did because he looked out of the window. It was such a beautiful vision to see white flowers, then followed by the yellow and then the purple flowers grown after having a rough winter. There stood a shiny robin standing in the grass. My son ran to try and touch him but Mr. Robin was too quick and there my son stood looking disappointed at his defeat.
While I was surrounded by all of this springtime beauty, I thought about how a day like this looked in 18Th and 19Th centuries New Orleans, Louisiana.
Just row after row of beautiful colorful flowers layered with the scents of magnolia, orange blossom, mimosa and plumeria. The real beauty is that the house of Bourbon French Parfums captured those images in their bottles of fine fragrances to keep those beautiful spring days of yesteryear a lasting impression.
I want to thank Mary Behlar, Owner and House Perfumer for Bourbon French Parfums for taking the time out in answering my email and I want to thank Jelly/Jill at Bourbon French Parfums for sending my the wonderful and historic pictures to be used for this issue.
